Free Music and Rare Demos from John Wicks of The Records

Fans of powerpop know of The Records, a legendary '80's band. Now John Wicks, lead singer of The Records and co-writer of the hit songs "Starry Eyes" and "Hearts In Her Eyes", has an idea he'd like to share.

For the entire summer, John will be posting a free, rare demo or outtake every week on the band's Facebook fan page. Just go to www.facebook.com/TheRecordsFeaturingJohnWicks, "like" the page, and you'll be treated to that week's feature outtake or demo. Most if not all of these cuts have never seen the light of day and promise to be a real treat, both for those familiar with Wicks' work as well as those who just dig good, melodic pop of the highest order.

Eventually some but not all of these tracks will appear on an upcoming CD release, but the only way to make sure you hear them all is to check out John's fanpage.
